The food is served with pride at this friendly cafe inside the highway service station. The hearty breakfasts are sure to keep bushwalkers going all day, and sandwiches, pies, burgers and sweet slices are available at other times. There’s a small grocery section, too. Note that the kitchen closes at 4pm.
